// Why riders stop

A rare full-service roadhouse on a remote stretch of the Glenn — hot food, cold beer, a bed, and Dall sheep on the hillside. MotoQuest uses it as a tour waypoint for a reason.

Beluga Point Overlook
Alaska
Roadside pull-off at Mile 110.5 of the Seward Highway with 180-degree views over Turnagain Arm. Spotting scopes and interpretive signs on-site; prime spot to watch the bore tide surge and, in mid-July through August, beluga whales. One of the most-photographed stops on Alaska's most scenic highway.

Exit Glacier — Kenai Fjords NP
Alaska
A short 8-mile spur off the Seward Highway at Mile 3 leads to the only road-accessible section of Kenai Fjords National Park. Paved trails reach the glacier face; the Glacier Overlook Loop (1.6 mi each way) gives a close-up view of the ice and the vast Harding Icefield above. Nature Center open seasonally with rangers on-site.
